So I’ve been thinking of buying a used M1 MacBook to bring around for work.

I mainly do research with 10+ tabs open, use Word and Excel, give presentations, and very rarely do some light Photoshop.

I’ve been seeing deals where the MacBook Pro with M1 and 16gb is about $100 cheaper than the Air version with the same spec, with one less GPU core, of course.

In this case, what would you guys suggest? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

    Save the $100. The difference in “portability” is insignificant, and for $100 LESS you get a better, brighter screen and a bigger trackpad, both of which are more meaningful than 0.2 pounds.

      You’ve made a very good point here. Does the brighter screen affect battery life or is it enough given the increased battery size?
